JRO Brief to WJTC

• CBRN Education, Training and Doctrine Gaps

Identified shortcomings affecting the ability to
fight and survive in a chemically and/or
biologically contaminated environment.
Units continued to face many of the problems
experienced during gulf war. Equipment,
training, and medical shortcomings persist. CB
Defense continues to receive low emphasis.
Lack of formal WMD training received by all
officers and enlisted personnel. Coverage of WMD
topics at the intermediate service schools is
virtually non-existent. Senior service schools
coverage somewhat better.
Lack of qualified personnel in to work on
exercises. Doctrine needs emphasis on NBC/WMD
considerations. Mid level Joint Service
college curriculums missing WMD threat or U.S.
response capability. Senior Joint Service
colleges have some curriculum related to the
NBC/WMD threat.

JRO Brief to WJTC

• CBRN Education, Training and Doctrine Initiatives

Provided assistance to enhance curriculum,
provided SME speakers, supported wargames, and
built electives.
Expanded the initiative to improve the awareness
of CBRN Defense, by reviewing/revising course,
electives, and providing speakers/senior leader
seminars to the PME system and the combatant
commands.
Another expansion to improve the awareness of
CBRN Defense, by effecting systemic solutions, to
the JTS, the PME system and by providing direct
support to the combatant commands.

JRO Brief to WJTC

• JRO Education, Training and Doctrine Vision

Objective Combatant command staffs capable of
performing joint staff actions in preparation for
joint operations in a CBRN environment. This
staff capability is reflected in
training/exercises, planning and operations, in
peace and war. End-State The initiative will
have reached its conclusion, when Current
and replacement combatant command staff members
meet the objective and a command environment
promotes CBRN readiness. Military
colleges educate personnel to meet the objective,
are themselves staffed with personnel who are
CBRN aware/educated and are sustained with
replacements who are CBRN aware/educated.
